I would think that would add a lot of character to the trunk. Why waste time hammering when you can collect and hammer all at once?

I drove about 50 miles with an 8'+ japanese maple strapped to the back of my little hatchback a year or two ago - the looks from other drivers were amazing! I'll try to find a picture.
EDIT: Also, I don't think she got enough roots with that one . . .

I think you're right, might be a goner.
At least it seems that she put it in the radiator to keep watering it during transportation, good thinking

Dude, you top it BEFORE you take it home ;-). Chopping off the top 15 feet in the parking lot REALLY freaks out the nursery folks. I did that to a 25 foot nursery grown Bald cypress (took three guys, a backhoe and an hour to get it out of the ground). Lopped off the top twenty feet in their field before I threw it in the back of the truck. Laughing and pointing at me all the way around, and some interest in bonsai too.

I always tell them "I'll just put it back together when I get home." Their faces are priceless.
This particular tree didn't get chopped because it, and its little brother, were destined for my landscape.

Before I got my drivers license I had to take my hedgemadori home on the bicycle. Took two 4.5 ft yews with me on the bicycle on the middle of the day, got dozens of weird looks!

I've totally cut fruit trees clean in half in the Lowes parking lot just to fit them into my sedan
